Chapter 64 Dowry

Zhou Qingti said mysteriously, "Guess what? If you guess correctly, you'll get a kiss from this beautiful lady."

Lu Yanzhi thought for a moment: "Pure love?" She shook her head.

"Loyal love?" She waved her hand.

Lu Yanzhi admitted defeat: "I don't know, just tell me directly."

"I give you jasmine, and I hope you will never leave me."

Lu Yanzhi looked at her cute and complacent look, and his heart softened.

He took her hand and brought them closer: "Okay."

After staring at each other for a long time, Lu Yanzhi lowered his head and kissed her pink and plump lips, just lightly tasting them.

Lu Yanzhi said: "I love you."

Zhou Qingti stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him back. As they were kissing passionately, there was a knock on the office door.

The two men came to their senses. Zhou Qingti pushed him away and took a step back, forgetting that they were in the office. He looked a little embarrassed.

Lu Yanzhi sat back in his chair: "Come in."

Assistant Dong pushed the door open and walked in. "Mr. Lu, Mr. Liu from the marketing department sent me a document and said it needs to be expedited."

Lu Yanzhi took the document, glanced through it, confirmed that there were no problems, picked up a pen and signed his name on the last page.

"Tell them that they have something to sign and send it up within ten minutes." Lu Yanzhi felt a little depressed. Anyone who was interrupted in this matter would be in a bad mood.

Assistant Dong took the document back: "Okay."

He glanced at the proprietress next to him and wondered if he had come at the wrong time.

Lu Yanzhi placed the jasmine potted plant Zhou Qingti had given him next to the photo frame. A touch of green dotted with a few small white flowers added a touch of liveliness to this serious office.

Only then did she notice that the amulet she had given him was framed.

"It looks pretty good." Zhou Qingti leaned on the desk: "Come with me to the mall later to buy some supplements for my mom and grandma."

She is a master of balancing things, so naturally she wants to take care of everyone when buying gifts.

I wanted to give each woman a small Suzhou embroidery bag, but then I thought it would not be very practical for grandmas and great-grandmas.

They are not as strong as Mrs. Lu, so it would be better for them to buy some red ginseng drink and bird's nest.

"Okay, I'll be seeing my mom in two days. Are you nervous?" Lu Yanzhi turned his chair to face her sideways.

"She doesn't seem nervous. I think your mother must be an easy person to get along with." At least that's what I learned from Lu Yanzhi and Old Lady Lu.

Lu Yanzhi pursed his lips and smiled: "Then why am I a little nervous?"

Zhou Qingti reached out and patted his shoulder: "Maybe it's been too long since we last met, and I'm homesick."

Lu Yanzhi sighed softly, "Maybe." He used to have a good relationship with his mother, but since she went abroad, they'd rarely contacted each other, and he didn't know what to talk about. So he just rarely contacted her.

We've been in touch more recently because of my marriage, but it's limited to some travel arrangements, such as what time the flight is, when we'll arrive in Toronto, etc.

…

In the western suburbs villa, night fell. Mother Zhou and Father Zhou were busy in the kitchen for two hours, preparing a large table full of dishes.

There are seafood that Zhou Qingti likes to eat, crystal pork elbows that are suitable for the elderly's teeth, refreshing and greasy small vegetables, and light and delicious steamed fish.

When the old people get together, they love to talk about the younger generation. The only pair of younger generations at the table are Zhou Qingti and Lu Yanzhi.

They began to worry about when Zhou Qingti would have a baby, "It's time to prepare for the birth of a child."

"The sooner the better. I want to send my great-grandson to school when the time comes."

Mrs. Lu retorted, "If you want a girl, our Lu family doesn't have one yet. Qingti will definitely give birth to a princess by then."

Zhou Qingti felt a little embarrassed as it was the first time her parents talked about this matter. Lu Yanzhi patted her thigh under the dining table to reassure her.

"We don't have any plans for now. We want to spend two more years as just the two of us. We'll just take it as it comes."

Mrs. Lu was the most open-minded among the elders present and sided with them: "Yes, young people, just enjoy your two-person world for a few more years and live happily."

Father Zhou also said: "Yes, just like your mother and I, we had you as soon as we got married. Now that you are married, we have the opportunity to be alone."

Mother Zhou glared at him and said, "That's not proper."

They plan to start their retirement journey after Zhou Qingti goes abroad, with Xi'an as the first stop.

After dinner, Lu Yanzhi drove Mrs. Lu back to the old house, and Zhou Qingti was waiting for him in the villa.

Mother Zhou pulled her into the room and whispered, "When you first got married, your father and I didn't give you a dowry. Now that you're having your wedding, this is the dowry your father and I saved for you. Take it."

Then he stuffed a bank card into her hand.

Zhou Qingti wanted to refuse: "Mom, I have money, no need."

Mother Zhou stuffed the card directly into her pocket: "The password is your birthday. The one you have is different from the one your parents gave you. 660,000 is a little less than what the Lu family gave you, but I don't want you to be looked down upon."

Zhou Qingti finally accepted it and protected Mother Zhou: "Thank you, Mom."

Mother Zhou patted her on the back and said, "Live well with Yanzhi. Don't bear the grievances. I think Mrs. Lu treats you very well. I'm relieved."

Zhou Qingti's voice was a little hoarse: "I know, Mom. You are all very good to me. I am the happiest person in the world."

Mother Zhou let her go: "Okay, if you are happy, then we are happy. Go down, Yanzhi should be back."

Zhou Qingti went downstairs, and Lu Yanzhi just walked in. On the way home, she took out her bank card and said to Lu Yanzhi, "This is the dowry my mother gave me. I felt I had to tell you."

Lu Yanzhi looked at the bank card and said, "Okay."

Seeing him so cold, Zhou Qingti was a little unhappy: "Do you look down on this little money?"

Lu Yanzhi slowed down the car. "No, the dowry your mother gave you was originally yours. It was your parents' blessing for your marriage. And you told me about it. I feel very happy. That's enough."

After hearing his words, Zhou Qingti's unhappiness dissipated and he snorted softly: "She is just worried that I will be wronged."

Lu Yanzhi looked at her: "Is there?"

"Of course not. Mom and Dad just like to worry. They also know that grandma and you are very good to me."

Lu Yanzhi jokingly said, "Right now, I'm worried that I'll be wronged and have nowhere to complain."

Zhou Qingti raised his head slightly: "Don't worry, I will treat you well and won't let you suffer any grievances."

"Thank you, my dear wife." Lu Yanzhi looked like he deserved a beating.

Zhou Qingti's heart skipped a beat when he heard those four words.

…

In the cloakroom, three large suitcases were spread out, and Zhou Qingti kept taking out clothes from the closet.

It's quite cold in Toronto and London in November, and it rains frequently, so she plans to bring some extra warm clothes.

Lu Yanzhi held his forehead and said, "It will be very convenient to buy clothes then. Don't bring so many large coats. Five suitcases will not be able to hold them all."

Zhou Qingti looked at the pile of clothes and felt a little confused: "I bought these especially for this trip."

However, considering the problem of being overweight, she had to squat down and screen again.

She took out a long off-white cashmere coat, a pair of light-colored pants, and a beige double-sided scarf from Louis Vuitton: "Wear this on the plane tomorrow to meet your mother."

Lu Yanzhi nodded: "It looks good."

Zhou Qingti put it aside: "Actually, it would look better in a knitted long skirt, but I'm afraid of the cold."

The first time she met her mother-in-law, she wanted to dress in a gentle and elegant manner.

After picking and choosing, she finally filled all three boxes. She had a feeling that there would be more than three boxes when she returned.
